The 16 Time World Champion John Cena was pushed as the top star of WWE after Brock Lesnar left the promotion to pursue a career in NFL and the rest is history.
However, even before this, the company showed faith in Cena and not too long after his debut he had become an important part of the SmackDown Brand.
WWE recently released a clip from the upcoming episode of Something Else To Wrestle With podcast which is scheduled to air on WWE Network later this week.
In the clip, the host Bruce Prichard talked about the early push of John and recalled a match from the early days of his career where he teamed up with Undertaker to defeat the team of Kurt Angle and Chris Jericho.
Revealing the backstage reaction to his push, Prichard who is a former WWE writer and producer revealed that it was met with jealousy by some people because Cena was put in a program immediately after his arrival and he was on TV as soon as he got there.
Continuing on the topic, Bruce revealed that there was a lot of rumbling from the people backstage but the fact that the audience was getting behind him made the difference.
While his early push was nothing compared to what was waiting for John in his career later on, the fact that the audience got behind him in his early days probably worked as a foundation for Cena and it presumably is the reason why Officials later put him in the place originally intended for Brock Lesnar.
